OK, I know I’ve really been lax about posting to this blog this year but this story really got to me and I had to rant. If you Google “overweight news anchor,” you’ll find thousands of links about a Wisconsin news anchor who received an email commenting on her weight. This story even made the […]

For a number of reasons (mainly financial), my wife recently took a temporary work assignment 1,800 miles away. Although it’s only for 3 months (90 days, 2160 hours…), it already seems like a lifetime. Weird isn’t it? We’ve lived together for so long that she’s become a part of me, a part of who I […]

I got word of two deaths this weekend. One was a Great-Grandmother that had lived a long and full life and the other was a young father just starting to live his. One lost a long battle with cancer, the other died in a hunting accident. In both cases, the message that was brought home […]
